Drowning in his own professional downward spiral, the veteran super-villain known as Master Molecule has been forced to become the leader of a new team of heinous criminals. In his shadow now lurks the powerful yet eccentric Spirit King and the mute force majeure Nite-Man. As the three coworkers learn to live with each other, they must also deal with whatever else their dangerous and bombastic world of costumed crusaders throws in their direction.

History
Southard's first comic book series originally published by Action Lab Entertainment in 2020. Eighteen issues were commissioned and produced until the publisher shut down for good due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. After a lengthy battle, Southard reacquired the publishing rights.
​
In 2022, Villains Seeking Hero was part of the launch for the then-new webcomic platform Zestworld. After the service shutdown in 2024, you may find all eighteen issues on Southard's personal archive: Loutopia.
